    TLDR Researchers created a stable rabbit cell line for hair research that doesn't age quickly or become cancerous.
    In this study, researchers successfully established seven immortalized rabbit dermal papilla cell lines using the SV40 large T antigen, with a focus on overcoming the limitations of primary DPCs, such as low proliferative activity and rapid aging. Among these, the R-7 cell line was notable for its ability to survive beyond 50 passages without undergoing malignant transformation, maintaining the basic characteristics of primary DPCs. The R-7 line expressed key DPC markers and showed potential for future hair research, providing a theoretical basis for studying hair follicle growth and development.
